Your POWER – Your Brand

Your POWER – Your Brand

By: Ivette Mayo

Your POWER in the marketplace comes from your brand. A powerful brand goes way beyond just a logo or graphic element. Your brand represents your commitment to the marketplace, to your clients and what they can expect from you. That is POWER!  It is critical that your brand  be present at all your customer touch points such as your website, your social media, and even the way your staff answers the phone. In a corporate setting, your work will represent you even if you are not in the room. Your brand is the way you are viewed and valued.
